Karen Watson, a missionary, wrote the following :-

"When God calls there are no regrets. I tried to share my heart with you as much as possible, my heart for the nations. I wasn't called to a place; I was called to Him. To obey was my objective, to suffer was expected, His glory my reward, His glory my reward . .

The missionary heart :
Cares more than some think is wise
Risks more that some think is safe
Dreams more than some think is practical
Expects more than some think is possible

I was called not to comfort or to success but to obedience. . . .

There is no joy outside of knowing Jesus and serving Him"

Karen was a Southern Baptist missionary to Iraq and was killed by

unknown assailants March 15, 2004.
